Whether you like it or not, summer is approaching us here in Colorado very quickly and we all want to make the best of the nice weather and great events that Colorado has to offer throughout the summer season. I thought I'd make available a list of things you absolutely must do for a once in a lifetime summer without even leaving the state!

1. Global Dance Festival Colorado

I had the pleasure of going to the "pre-event" for the 2017 Global Dance Festival called Global Dub Festival and that was a night for the books if you enjoy music, people, Sports Authority Field or dancing, this one will definitely kick off your summer on a good note with a day filled with energy and an incredible show put on by all the artists.

2. Greeley Stampede

If music isn't your thing, I recommend you check out the Greeley Stampede and all of its glory. You can check out the fair, the bull riding, and many more family friendly events that are sure to take you back to your childhood and the county fairs that we all loved so dearly.

3. Hot Air Balloon festival

Although it may not be as grand as the international Hot Air Balloon Festival, this one is still a sight to see with your family and friends.

4. Vans Warped Tour

Last, but definitely not least and also my personal favorite of the summer, Vans Warped Tour. For all music enthusiasts, there is something for everyone. The lineup features a wide spread of music from Metal to Post Hardcore. With all of the causes that have booths at the festival, you are sure to find something to support like A Voice For The Innocent which supports victims of sexual assault and rape.

If you still can't find something to do then start something and let's make this summer count!
